Storytelling Beyond the Screen
Creating Narratives For Immersive And Interactive Spaces
by Klaus Sommer Paulsen, Signe Ungermand, Maria Herholdt Engermann, Manuel Faria, David John Tree, Lisa O’Neill, Radim Hladiš, and Guy Gadney
As storytelling and media production evolve, they are moving far beyond traditional screens. Storytelling Beyond The Screen, a collaborative project involving Filmby Aarhus, VIA Film & Transmedia, and the EU’s Create Converge program, serves as a visionary guide for creators navigating this shift. The anthology challenges students and professionals to rethink how audiences engage with content through new technologies and immersive possibilities.
Rather than focusing solely on technical tools, the book introduces a transformative mindset for innovators working across virtual, physical, and hybrid realities. International experts contribute multidisciplinary insights into creative soundscapes, interactive AI, and spatial design, offering a behind-the-scenes look at pioneering projects. By merging narrative theory with experiential design, the work provides a comprehensive framework for those ready to move past the rectangular screen and embrace the future of integrated, story-based experiences in an increasingly connected world.
